"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now..."
When I told you our friendship is forever, I included everything, good times and bad times.
When I told you I want you to be happy, it goes without saying that I will do my part in keeping you happy or making you happy.
When I told you I would be there for you, I mean it.
It hurts me when I know you are sad.
So, can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? Because I desperately need a wish right now. A wish that you will smile, at the very least... Be happy, even for just a while.
As you face these challenges, I assure you that you are not alone. God is with you... I will be here for you. Cheer up, friend. You have been doing your part. Keep doing your part and leave the rest to God. :)
Find strength in God, not just from other people who are limited and corruptible as well.
Be strong, friend. :)

Hi! :)
Hi! :)
Good morning. :)
The more I get to know you, the more I realized what a great person you are. :) Last night when I was quite angry, you made me happy. You made me happy not because of your comfort and encouragement. Not that those didn't cheer me up, in fact they always do, but last night was different. You were concerned about the relationship rift caused when I got angry about the "situation" and all that.
These past few days, I saw what a great friend you are. But more importantly, I realized what a great person you are. You're concerned about building relationships and making them last. I saw how actively you wanted to share your faith to your friends. By this, I am greatly encouraged and motivated to do likewise and be conscious of what I should be doing: that is, to build relationships with people and bring them closer to God.
You always worry about a lot of things. You worry about almost anything! But again, I assure you, everything will be alright as long as you stay in the Lord.
Last night I had my QT. Guess what, when I looked into my journal for what chapter I would be reading next, the passage was Ephesians 6. The whole time i had my QT last night, I was reminded of how foolish I am. Honoring my parents is a command. I disobeyed, I sinned. Praise God for reminding me time and time again of these things.
This morning, I had my QT as well, and I read about Philippians 1:21. "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Knowing Christ, serving Christ, loving Christ, and following Him INDEED is LIFE. I pray that our joy may be found in Christ. I pray that our comfort will be found in Christ. I pray that everything in us is aligned to God and His will. Everything else is secondary, I pray we see it that way.
Hi friend, this is me talking to you... Thank you for the great friendship you have given me. Thank you for imparting to me a part of your life. Thank you for everything. :) Yes, I am a soft litol bread. I have you to thank for that as well. :)
May God continue to reveal Himself to you. May you continue to follow the will of God. May you continue to grow into the likeness of Christ. May you continue to live a Christ- centered life. In every problem, may you put your trust in God. Worry less and allow God to change you, to mold you. I am sure that your life is a blessing to many. Continue to reach out to people for Christ. :)
The Lord bless you. :)
Your soft litol bread,
Bunbun :)

The Meaning of Life
In the everlasting quest of man to find the meaning of life and the reason for their existence, man has resulted to many things to find out the one question that has boggled the minds of everyone from the intellectual to the commoner: Why do we exist? This question has indeed boggled the minds of people to a point where it has branched into its own philosophical thinking, existentialism.
Amidst all the philosophical knowledge and existential arguments that took place in history, I am sure that these positions and arguments have not answered the real reason we exist.
I have an answer.
"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21
This one verse encapsulates the whole essence of existence.
To know Christ is life. John Wesley's notes on this verse has the following words: To me to live is Christ - to know, to love, to follow Christ, is my life, my glory, my joy. John Wesley's joy is found in knowing, loving, and following Christ. This, my friends, is the meaning of life. This is the essence. This is the reason we live.
